foreign policy -- he doesn't have attraction. he has not been able to articulate a compelling view about how he would leave this country in a different direction than president obama. maybe he can begin to do that. he gave a good speech yesterday on our development policies. he needs to do more than that -- more of that in the debates. president obama and governor romney have different views about where to take this country internationally. host: where you expecting from the speech by the iranian leader today? guest: mach mod ahmadinejad -- mahmoud ahmadinejad is a fool. er.is a israel pahat denies the holocaust. he lost most of his power. he is not the most significant leader in iran. i would expect a lot of lies about the united states. iran has very low support. they have support from hezbollah and the syrian government. most countries want nothing to do with the iranians. they have been violating their commitments on their nuclear enrichment programs. it is a program on the defensive. president obama has been doing a good job

i have a little more sympathy for his foreign policy than his monetary policy suggestions. i think they at least deserve to be discussed. they deserve discussion. the republican establishment, and try to keep his foreign- policy views far away and tar them as a wacky extremism -- is unfortunate. the real issue is not so much should we be an empire or not. i really do not think the united states is an empire or is seen as an empire these days. we are spending a lot of money on our foreign policy and national security policy. the question of where that fits into not just our global role, but also our economic challenges at home and our budgetary challenges -- we're obviously in a restricted budgetary environment -- is a real issue. i personally think that we have gotten a lot out the fire world role. the development i talked about before, what others have called the rise of the rest -- one of the key reasons that has happened is because we have provided security for the world. if we had been an entire, we've been a pretty benign one and others have basically accepted it. thin

my question, directly, is about foreign policy. it seems like the tea party started by ron paul, but now that it has become mainstream, it has really turned into more of a militaristic type organization. i wonder your comments. guest: i want to set the record straight. ron paul has talked about many of the issues that are tea party issues for decades. that foundation that he laid is invaluable. as far as starting the modern- day tea party movement, i take issue with that. i understand there are ron paul supporters a couple of years before the tea party became official. they did not take off until that rents. every movement has a moment. that was the moment for that modern american t party. i would not say he actually started the modern day tea party movement. i would say they do have a difference of opinion -- of opinion with ron paul. there are a lot of distinctions. there are a segment of ron paul supporters, but the majority of tea partyers do not. host: were you approached about writing this book? guest: we had an agent approac

i do not think that romney has an adequate foreign-policy resume out all. neither did the president when he came in and i will admit that. host: governor romney made the announcement yesterday in north pulte, va., and talked about right and being a leader in the republican party. here is what the governor had to say. [video clip] >> with energy and vision, paul ryan has become a leader of the republican party. he understands the physical challenges facing america, crushing debt coming in the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us as we do not change course. he combines a profound sense of responsibility for what we of the next generation with an unbounded optimism in america's future and an understanding of all the things the american people can do. he also combines firmer principles with a practical concern for getting things done. he's never been content to simply curse the darkness. he would rather light a candle. throughout his legislative career, he has shown the ability to work with members of both parties to find common ground on some of the hardest issue

when you are talking about tax policy in washington, let alone foreign policy, to the unregistered, to those that do not pay that much attention to national affairs, that does not seem to have any impact on their regular life. if you think about it, intuitively, that makes sense. that is what the framers had in mind when they created a federal system where a lot of the power was to remain at the state and local level. only things that could not be done at the state and local level would be done by the federal government. unfortunately, we have gotten away from that, especially with this administration. it is almost an intuitive conservatism. they can understand more what is happening in their community. host: with the gop primary this year, have you seen an uptick in voter registration? as it turned people off? guest: i do not think so. there has been harsh rhetoric and maybe some hard feelings and so forth and so on. peter, i believe that the way we get a strong nominee is to have a conversation with all of america that includes as many individuals as possible. i mean, i think the mor
